It often starts with a red rash and a red ring around the bite, but not always. You may also have a fever, headache, and muscle or joint pain. In addition to the symptoms of infection, you may also experience nausea, weight loss, pain in the arms, legs, neck, or back, or temporary facial paralysis. Lyme disease cannot be vaccinated against, but it can be treated. \u003cstrong\u003eUntreated Lyme disease can spread throughout the body and lead to serious consequences.\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy should I get tested for Lyme disease?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"\u003eIt can be difficult to detect Lyme disease from a tick bite, some people don't even know they've been bitten. Symptoms usually appear two to six weeks after the tick bite. Sometimes it can take up to three months.\u003cstrong\u003e The symptoms are quite general and only half of all Lyme disease infected people get a red ring or redness around the bite.\u003c\/strong\u003e These patients usually receive treatment quickly. However, if you have more diffuse symptoms that are not visible, it may take a while before the infection is even discovered. A positive Lyme disease test (you are infected with the Lyme disease bacterium) means that you can seek care and receive the right treatment more easily and quickly, which is important as Lyme disease can cause serious complications. If you suspect or know that you have been bitten by a tick and are worried about Lyme disease, a rapid test can calm your concerns.\n\u003c\/span\u003e\n\nNote: Quicktest Borrelia test does not make a diagnosis. A positive result indicates an infection and a doctor should be contacted for further investigation and treatment.\n\n \n\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication information\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nFact-checked 2025-01-11 by\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.quicktest.se\/om-oss\/\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eLeg Doctor Fredrik Lönnqvist\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eLeg Nurse\u003c\/em\u003e","brand":"Quicktest Sverige","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57375004328320,"sku":"BOR701","price":16.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/9199\/2448\/files\/quicktest_borreliatest_v2.jpg?v=1770665919","url":"https:\/\/quicktest.se\/en-be\/products\/lyme-disease-test","provider":"Quicktest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
